My Creations

This has got to be one of my favorite layouts that I have done!! I just love all the little details - the key and lock, butterfly wings, crystal stick pin, and even a real postage stamp and playing card!! The paper is from a wonderful company called Collage Press. I ripped parts of the paper and put some pink paper behind it to give it more of a shabby chic look. I stamped the clocks with Heidi Swapp stamps and then then embossed them with different colors of Pearl Ex to give them a sheer shimmer. I painted some Tim Holtz grungeboard and covered it with glitter, pearl, and crackle paint. The layout was finished off by weaving lace and sequins around all the Prima flowers and adding rhinestones. The title was cut using my Cricut and the Sure Cuts a Lot software. I love that software - it allows me to download free fonts from the internet and cut them with my Cricut!! I can even weld letters together in the software, like I did below. As a finishing touch, I covered the letters in Stickles to add more glitter to the page.

Below is a close up of the postage stamp, crystal stick pin and clusters of flowers.

This is the close up of the paper tearing, calendar, and grungeboard. The little silver "frame" was actually the container lid from some Prima flowers that I had purchased!
